This is one of the best true crime podcasts you will come across. Not only does Nikki narrate each story incredibly well, she is so compassionate towards each victim and their families, making them the centre of each episode and doing what she can to raise awareness of their case. Highly recommended

A calm, nocturnal true crime podcast that profiles a wide range of cases—disappearances, murders, and investigations—told with steady narration and a respectful focus on victims and evidence. Episodes favor non-sensational storytelling, careful timelines, and forensic detail, often weighing circumstantial versus forensic evidence and exploring how cases unfold over years. Listeners can expect deeply researched narratives, a soothing delivery style, and stories that balance empathy for victims with attention to investigative nuance. A standout feature is the host's restrained, compassionate tone, which can make tough topics approachable for fans who want thorough context without sensationalism.
